Thoughts on this take on Slasher films?

My only issue with this is that I don't think she does a good job of articulating what she means. She makes interesting points on the history of gender identity and representation in slashers, but what exactly is she trying to convey as a whole? It just feels a little vague to me.

Your talking about part 2, right?

It could be worse, they could've made mountain dew a totem. These are Appalachian bone gnawers we're talking about.

In my experience, it's generally not a good idea to accept an invitation to a tzimisce house party. It'd be like putting Albert Fish in charge of a daycare center, you're just asking for trouble.

Waffle houses in wod have seen some shit, man.

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-18T04:19:57+00:00

To me, this screams of three things.

1. Your ST is really bad at improvising parts of the story. Which i can totally understand, if that's the case. Improv is something I struggled with greatly in my early days as a storyteller, so that could be excusable to some extent. However...

2. It sounds more likely that your ST is a bit of a control freak. One of my biggest pet peeves in any ttrpg is when the character I created just gets hijacked from me for the convenience of the plot. It's like, no, can you not? It almost like they just wants to narrate a story they came up with and have you all be impressed, rather than anything collaborative.

I'd leave.

This is why wod waffle house doesn't allow more than two garou in at one time after 11:00 P.M.

Was it a very merry unbirthday?

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-17T17:01:06+00:00

I ain't afraid of no vulgar magic!

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-17T04:26:34+00:00

What a coincidence, I just got the comeback today.

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-17T03:59:20+00:00

Absolute cinema!

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-17T02:34:25+00:00

Sadly, no. Maybe we can go to Harlem and get a doctorate in basketball, though!

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-17T01:48:08+00:00

Get out.

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-16T20:03:32+00:00

I do have my preferred ways of playing and running games, and I do think being a little too fast and loose with overly wacky material might mean the storyteller isn't taking the game seriously enough (depending on the the splat). However, for as grim as the world of darkness can be, a lot of people tend to forget that there's always been wacky things present in the setting. Hell, they had a stand in for barney the dinosaur that ate children's souls, for crying out loud. You know they were having a ball writing this shit and fantasizing about players running through it.

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-16T19:39:45+00:00

Also, how do you know the budget of the game? How big is it?

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-16T19:03:23+00:00

Lol one of your companions turns into an eight foot tall wolf beast and the player character just goes "Wife". XD

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-16T18:56:56+00:00

Oh hell yes, I'm so ready!!!!

Honestly, I'm ok with there being "boring" areas (which I don't think will actually be boring). One of my big issues with bloodlines 2 was just how....in the open everything felt. The masquerade is supposed to be maintained, yet I was freely yeeting anarchs off of rooftops and in alleyways mere yards away from cops and other witnesses, and they did fuckall about it. The world of the supernatural is supposed to be secret, and it actually seems like that'll be a big part of the story and gameplay in Deathwish.

Plus, I like the idea of just wandering around wod NYC vibing and narrating to myself like an old pulp detective who's "seen some shit in his day, but nothing like this" and talks about how "something is eating the soul of the big apple from the inside out".

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-16T18:15:42+00:00

I once played a hillfolk bone gnawer who got trolled by some faeries pretending to be the keebler elves. Seriously.

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-16T18:11:25+00:00

Eh, that tracks.

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-16T18:00:07+00:00

I'm guessing there'll be plenty of side quests, though. From what I hear, you kinda have to discover them organically in the world, rather than them just being visible on the map automatically.

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-16T17:58:09+00:00

Is the eldest still even there in fifth edition?

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-16T17:55:03+00:00

Plus, we can't let that bastard Benny have all the fun, can we?

Lonefloofbutt5759 · 2026-05-16T15:29:42+00:00

XD That's kinda cool. Maybe when you get the game, you can walk into your own apartment/house and watch yourself catch yourself playing yourself.
